Aldegonde before I speak to Bertram," said the duke. "I should not be surprised if he were here immediately." One of the social mysteries is, "how things get about!" It is not the interest of any of the persons immediately connected with the subject that society should be aware that the Lady Corisande had declined the proposal of the Duke of Brecon.
"I think Lady Flora will make an excellent Lady Carisbrooke. He is not quite as tall as she is, but he is a man of inches. And now for Lady Grizell." "My powers of divination are quite exhausted," said Miss Arundel. "Well, I will not keep you in suspense," said Lady Clanmorne. "Lady Grizell is to be Duchess of Brecon." "Duchess of Brecon!" exclaimed both Miss Arundel and Lady St. Jerome.
Bertram must kneel by his friend at such a time. I think Lord Carisbrooke may: Duke of Brecon, I can say nothing about at present." "Lord St. Aldegonde?" said the bishop. Lady Corisande shook her head. There had been a conclave in the bishop's room before dinner, in which the interview of the morning was discussed.
